53% of the world’s population is still offline, with the majority located in Africa and Asia-Pacific. The reasons for being offline or for limited Internet use are manifold: many do not have access because they live in remote or difficult to-reach areas and do not have access to digital or other basic infrastructure such as electricity or transport. Some do not see the benefits of being connected, often because of limited awareness, cultural impediments or limited relevant digital content. Still others are illiterate, and many are too poor to afford even the most basic of Internet packages and devices. Existing inequalities in terms of income and education, particularly prominent among women, and other factors exacerbate the problem. To tackle the large offline populations, ITU within its Connect 2020 Agenda has made it a goal to bring 60% of the world’s population online by 2020. The key challenges in meeting Connect 2020 Agenda Targets are finding replicable solutions that can be scaled to connecting the large rural offline populations at minimal costs, and finding effective strategies for narrowing the usage gaps (including the gender gap) across all regions – Connecting the Unconnected

Urban (1/3 population) 167%
Rural (2/3 population) 57%
India’s figure 90% wireless teledensity is actually dominated by a small proportion of city people with multiple mobile subscriptions
The largest growth opportunity is the 2/3rds of the population in rural areas where mobile penetration is only 57%

NEW DELHI—A new wave of affordable smartphones has brought hundreds of millions of Indians online for the first time, giving them access to better education, jobs and entertainment. But there is one sector that isn’t thrilled with this development: consumer-goods companies....“The growing consumption of mobile data and impressive growth in the number of mobile users … has resulted in consumers increasing their spends on phones rather than on fast-moving consumer products,” said Sanjay Khajuria, a spokesman for Nestlé in India.
